Richard J. Daley College is a public municipal community college in the West Lawn community area in the southwestern side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is part of the City Colleges of Chicago system.
The college was founded as William J. Bogan Junior College in 1960 and utilized classrooms in the evenings provided by William J. Bogan High School in the Ashburn neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. In 1970, the college moved to an interim campus, made of prefab buildings, in the West Lawn neighborhood at 7500 S. Pulaski Road, until the present campus was completed in 1981.
In 1976, a week after the death of Richard J. Daley, the college was renamed in honor of the late mayor.
